Friday night at a friend's house, dd (2 yo) wanted to nurse, so I let her.
A friend (15 yo girl) said: "Are you allowed to do that?"
me: "yes, it's not illegal. (smile) but, if it were illegal, would I tell you?'"
everyone chuckles
her: "so, how long will she nurse, or will she always nurse?"
me: "well, are you still nursing?"
her: "no"
everyone chuckles
And, this 15 yo now knows that it is fine (great, actually!) to breastfeed, and to clw!

I liked how you gave her a straight answer, rather than flood her with too much info.
